BANDITS TAKE CASA GRANDE




After a sluggish start on Saturday, and an early morning loss on Sunday to Just For Fun, the Bandits bats woke up and they took three straight games when they counted in Casa Grande on April 5th and 6th.

Finishing 2 and 2 in the seeding games, the Bandits won the games they needed to win. A come from behind win against the Buzzards got things going. Then the Bandits run ruled Agave sending them into the championship against Klimate Kings. The Bandits jumped out to a big lead, homering early and often. They then held on as Klimate King mounted a comeback.

Highlights of the weekend..................

Dave Niles being awarded the prestigous "Hit Me Here" award. Dave also played a flawless outfield, highlighted by a throw that the umpire called "illegal" on.

Mark Reagin and Mike Gerber going down on strikes. But that's already been forgotten.

The penalty box, with Rip, Mark and Steve Marshall serving time!

The top hitters for this tournament were..............

Denny Bailey .824
Dave Clark .773
Mark Reagin .727
Mike Swank .696
Mike Gerber .619
Rip Cortes .619

Next up is Tucson.
